A Community based Baptismal Liturgy

Triune God,

We pray for the life and witness of our new sibling, we pray we may love and support them and collectively all grow more in your likeness. Please open us to the Good News they’ll reveal to our community as a reflection of your ever-revealing image. Give us patience and flexibility to incorporate their wisdom. In your wisdom, Holy Sophia, root us in holy scriptures and traditions that draw us closer to the reign of God and mutual flourishing. We pray we are instruments of your will. Bless and keep this and all our siblings, born of the body of Christ. Let us be a blessing to all of creation and glorifying to you.

Amen
